Site C Project
Last updated on January 30, 2023On December 11, 2017, the B.C. government committed to completing construction of BC Hydro's Site C hydroelectric dam project.
In making the announcement, Premier John Horgan stated that while Site C should never have been started, the project has been pushed past the point of no return over the past few years. To cancel would have meant asking British Columbians to take on almost $4 billion in debt with nothing in return for the people of the province and, even worse, with a high risk of cuts to service and projects families count on.
Government announced a Site C turnaround plan to contain costs, provide enhanced project oversight, and expand benefits to people and communities.
